- ing drawings, and to the characters of reference marked thereon, of this application.

This inventionrelates to improvements in which form a part supporting brackets and is more particularlyuseful in adjusting insulators for electric wires asit may be readily and quickly adapted to meet various conditions asencountered such structure and relative arrangement of surface. Fig.

in outside line construction.

A further object of the invention is to produce a simple and inexpensive device and yet one which will. be exceedingly efiective for the purposes for which it is designed.

These objects, I accomplish by means of the parts" as will fully appear by a perusal of the followi ng specification and claim.

On the drawings, similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several-views.

I Application filed August 6, 1914. Serial No. 855,424.

Referring now more particularly t the characters of reference on the drawings, the

numeral 1 designates a post or other meansof support for the bracket 2 with holes 3 adapted to receive screws or bolts as may be most suitable. The end 4 of the bracket is bent, as clearly shown in the drawing, and rounded olf at the corners and provided with "a hole 5 which carr1es in this case a bolt 6 with an insulator 7 disposed thereon.

To obtain the position shown in Fig. 3, the bracket on one side is removed from the bolt 6 and replaced in the position, as shown.

To obtain the position shown in Fig. 5, one bracket is swung around ninety degrees to fit a corner, as shown.

From the foregoing description it will readily be seen that I have produced such a device as substantially fulfils the objects of the invention as set forth herein.

While this specification sets forth in detail the present and preferred construction of the device, still in practice, such deviadetail may be resorted to as do not form a departure from the spirit of the'invention, as defined by the appended c aim.

Having thus described my invention what I I claim as new and useful and desire to secure byLetters Patent is A bracket, as described, comprising a flat body member, the same being bent at one end to form another portion lying in a plane disposed at right angles to said body 'memher, the flat of said bent portion lying in a plane outside of the plane of the ad acent-- edge of said body member, as described.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
